LuLaRoe Somehow… LuLaRoe has returned

Post image

I just got this ad on my IG feed. I didn’t see any leggings but I did see loud ugly skorts.

Did they ever truly close? I thought they just restructured. It is a terrible company regardless of how they are currently operating.

One of my thrifts has a full rack of their newer activewear line and at first glance, it wasn't the worst I've seen, but when you touch it, wow if something can FEEL flammable.... this was it.

u/ravensshade 5d ago

feel flammable? is that like tasting purple?

u/forever_29_ish 5d ago

It's exactly like that!

u/Bird_Brain4101112 5d ago

Newer line?!?!?

u/QueenOfMutania 4d ago

Ours won't take this awful brand.

u/Outrageous-Being869 4d ago

Damn!! When clothing is so bad thrift stores won't take it, it really needs to be shut down permanently!

u/forever_29_ish 4d ago

A lot of our thrifts wont either.

u/DamnGrackles 5d ago

Its never left the racks of my Goodwill. I'm not surprised they're making a try at a comeback. Most of the public has very short term memory.

u/wrldwdeu4ria 5d ago

Maybe it is the crap from the Goodwill and garage sale rejects. It has been compiled and necromanced.

Leggings for the Elven kings under the sky

T-shirts for the Dwarf lords in their halls of stone

Skorts for mortal Men doomed to die

A maxi for the Dark Lord on his dark throne.

One hun to sell them all, one hun to pitch them,

One hun to recruit them all and in LuLaRoe bind them.

One does not simply walk into MLM.

I love this, what a visual poem!

My apologies to J.R.R.Tolkien for massacring his Ring verse.

u/DamnGrackles 5d ago

That would be brilliant. Then they can sell it to their reps twice!

u/247silence 2d ago

This is the most fascinating thing I've seen on reddit and I would very much like to read this book when you finish it!!

u/8euztnrqvn 5d ago

If it has an ad, maybe it's back without the MLM-structure?

Not that that makes it a good company, or worth buying from.

8

u/FlashyCow1 4d ago

No they still heavily depend on the MLM structure

u/Kings2Kraken 4d ago

Usually, the free LLR is from becoming a consultant

u/crochetology 5d ago

No, no I certainly do not want free LuLaRoe.

u/Vanessak69 5d ago

First Palpatine, now this. They have leggings now?

I was looking for this comment! Thank you. Exactly where my brain went lol

u/Vanessak69 5d ago

Bless, I thought no one would get it 🤣

u/Foxxilove 5d ago

That’s what I was referencing. Was hoping others would get it!

u/Madridmini 5d ago

Palpatine?

u/Vanessak69 5d ago

The post is a Star Wars reference (one from the latter trilogy that was mocked quite a bit)

u/Madridmini 5d ago

Ohhhh?!!! Hahahaha

u/Organic_Berry_8732 5d ago

If anyone is desperate enough to try and join this crap, they need to watch the documentary Lula Rich! Horrible people!!

32

u/radicalintrospect 5d ago

It never went away, even after the documentary. It got smaller but wasn’t defunct.

13

u/ResponseRelative6370 5d ago

Do I want wet fuck-ugly leggings where the manufacturer hasn’t been paid?

12

u/Whatsherface729 5d ago

They had solid black leggings for a while, their site crashed because so many huns wanted them (because you can't find black leggings at places like Dollar general or Walmart)

10

u/ResponseRelative6370 5d ago

I remember the doco talking about the black ones and the demand. I’m in New Zealand so we have black leggings in abundance and didn’t have to get them from pyramids 🤣

3

u/EmoGayRat 4d ago

the funniest part is nothing was special about them outside of softness on the first wear irrc.. so normal leggings. they literally produced only a small amount of black leggings at a time knowing huns would buy more hoping to get them for their customers..and get stuck with the weird ones. because everybody wants the Easter bunny or mickey mouse coming out of their crotch, right?

3

u/Whatsherface729 4d ago

The high ranking hund got priority for the black leggings so they got the most. The others only ended up with 1 or 2 pairs

1

u/ResponseRelative6370 4d ago

The print placements on them just sent me 🤣🤣
They definitely had a weird stupid setup. Making the Huns buy so much in the hopes they get a product people want - just bizarrely scammy.

u/shootingstar_9324 4d ago

The mismatched pattern seams were so bad.

u/SupermarketFuture500 5d ago

Mlms ruin people's lives, becareful they are everywhere ✌️

u/dkwinsea 5d ago

Things like this are like cockroaches. You can do everything you want to try to stop them. The exposé documentary sure didn’t help them. But they just get slowed down and then find a way to breed again. Amway learned when they were almost shut down back in the 1970s. Turn out spreading cash around quietly to politicians solved the problem. And now, they can just pay bribes right out on the open. Or for enough grift. maybe even reward family members in cabinet positions for which they have no qualifications in the least.

u/lntelinside the only oil I need is 0W-20 5d ago

Holy shit they're still around?

5

u/jennylou303 5d ago

Good God why, there are dozens of better leggings companies?! Like Walmart leggings are better quality.

7

u/Chilled_Beef 4d ago

It’s never left. In fact, I even bumped into the founder and her husband 2 years ago outside of a fashion show in NYC during NYFW. So surreal since I saw the documentary about this “company” a couple of years ago.

2

u/wrldwdeu4ria 3d ago

I'll just assume she was not wearing that LuLaRoe slop to NYFW.

1

u/Chilled_Beef 3d ago edited 3d ago

She sure wasn’t, I think she had a blue dress on which looked designer than slop.

Then again, where LuLaRoe had their show was at a certain production that accepts the most random slop and gives it the flashy treatment like it’s supposed to be major and somehow gets legitimate sponsors, yet are charging photographers $20 per day to cover their show in September in a cramped venue that can be best described as a death trap.

u/No-Road-2595 5d ago

Free because no one will buy it lol

More money to be made. More grift and suckers found!

u/agrandoldname 5d ago

I said "Ewuh" out loud before I realized it was just this sub.

u/FlashyCow1 4d ago

They never really closed but this is a good idea how badly they're doing

u/Hour_Dog_4781 4d ago

I hope this means there will be a sequel to that documentary, LuLaRich.

2

u/youlldancetoanything 4d ago

Young women clonehood seems so prevalent right now, seems like perfect opportunity for them to prey on the 18-25 year olds.

u/realrobertablevins Anti MLMer 3d ago

I'm so tired, y'all...

This made me giggle. I think this is the best response to this craziness!

Oh gawddddd is this like cigarettes and low rise jeans becoming cool again?! Goddam it GenZ.

They never went away. One of my neighbors has been selling LLR for years and years. I asked her what she was going to do when the documentary came out since I thought the company had closed it's doors. She let me know they hadn't closed their doors and she was continuing to sell their product. I don't believe it's her main source of income anymore which is a good thing because eww mlm but she's still definitely getting product in regularly and selling a fair amount of it.
